Good to see that you finally have a working FTP Server, after about 2 months of trial and error

No problem. I wonder if Fake Sendmail mentioned in this thread by Olajide works with sendmail_path, considering php.ini labels that as "for UNIX only".

Can you access mySQL with phpMyAdmin in the Admin Panel?

What do you mean by it doesn't show up in the "import" tab? Do you mean not listed when you press the "browse" button? How're you putting in the directory to import? Did you type the path of that directory into the textbox or did you use the "browse" button?

What have you set for the SMTP, sendmail_from and sendmail_path directives in your php.ini, have you commented any of them? If I remember correctly, you should have sendmail_path commented if you're using Windows.

As I mentioned above, valid permission tokens are Read, Write, List, Admin, or All, which indicates all four permission types. In other words, All = Read Write List Admin. The permission to upload and delete or rename files should be under Write and Admin respectively.

Could you post the config for your second user account here?

Of course they'll be left open. Olajide doesn't close threads when the problems in it are solved, so neither will I.

Make sure you've updated your executables to the latest version. To add a new user account, you'll have to modify and add these lines to your slimftpd.conf: ---------- START HERE ---------- # To make a new user, just replace and with the # username and password of your choice. If no password is set, the user # will be allowed to login without a password. [/color]"> Password "" # The directive below will attach a local file system path to a virtual file system # path. In this case, it will cause all files and folders in C:\ to appear # in the server's root (/). If I remember correctly, you'll probably need to use # "C:\\" (with the double quotes), if your folder contains spaces. Mount / C:\ # The next directives set permissions on paths in the virtual file system. # Valid permission tokens are Read, Write, List, Admin, or All, which indicates # all four permission types. In the example below, we'll allow Read and List # permissions for the root (/) and all folders in it. We'll also explicitly allow Write # permission for the /upload folder only (which in this example exists at # C:\\upload) and all folders beneath it. # Finally, we'll explicitly deny access of any kind to the /private folder (which would # be located at C:\\private). Allow / Read List Allow /upload Write Deny /private All # The D:\ below would appear in the server's root as /files. # Do note that this folder will automatically allow Read and List permissions # as it inherits the server root's permissions which are defined above. Mount /files D:\ ---------- END HERE ---------- Hope that helps (so we can finally close this thread, which is going to be 2 months old soon)

contact77, AlleyKat, the only Super Moderator is from Odense, Denmark according to his profile. He runs the Danish phpBB2 Support Forums and is the only non-devteam @ (channel operator) of #uniserver, our support channel on Freenode. As you can see from the devteam list, AlleyKat is listed in 1st place under "Helpers & Supporters". It's no wonder Dannish is listed as the second option for language.

You're welcome

Try FileZilla or SlimFTPd. FileZilla = GUI while SlimFTPd = CLI, if I remember correctly. Uniform Server has an old SlimFTPd plugin, I think you should still be able to use its config file with the latest version. Olajide tried FileZilla a while ago, it had some problems serving subst drives (in this case W:\), but well, that was a while ago

Have you started mySQL? (I don't know about other WAMP distributions, but by default, Uniform Server doesn't start mySQL when you click on Server_Start.bat) If you have, maybe you should try using "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost". If not, you can start it via the admin panel or by executing "Server_Start.bat w mysql".

You shouldn't be getting "Access denied" errors on an administrator account unless you've installed Uniform Server as a service. Did you touch anything in Uniform Server's plugins folder and where did you learn how to use "apache -k stop"? That command is for stopping Apache if you've installed it as a service. By the way, you might want to try "apache -n Apache2 -k stop". For your information, "-n" defines the service name Apache is installed as. I hope that helps

Olajide: shouldn't CGI scripts work in W:\www\ if he is using the default .htaccess, which has AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi Options +ExecCGI in them? On the other hand, the only cgi-script AddHandler in httpd.conf is commented and I don't think it is enabled specifically for cgi-bin as I don't see it in the directive for cgi-bin and there is no .htaccess in cgi-bin. Hmmm.. is this (cgi-bin doesn't have AddHandler cgi-script uncommented by default) a problem that no one has found or am I missing something?

Maybe it's because he hasn't uncommented AddHandler cgi-script .bat .exe .pl .cgi and Action application/x-perl "/usr/bin/perl" (which are of course, commented by default) in his httpd.conf?

If pskill is really the problem. You should try to replace the pskill in Uniform Server with this one. Previous versions of Uniform Server use to use that but as the executable is big (compared to the one we have now) and lots of virus scanners wrongly detect it as a virus, it was replaced with a home made version. Once you've placed the new pskill.exe in the right place, you should open Stop.bat in notepad and change diskw\home\admin\program\pskill.exe Apache.exe c to diskw\home\admin\program\pskill.exe -t Apache.exe

Run the server. Test your server by visiting this page. If you see the Admin Panel and not some error message from your browser then it works. If not, read the "If your server doesn't run, you should check for" section first. Open W:\www\.htaccess and change Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 into #Order Deny,Allow #Deny from all #Allow from 127.0.0.1The adding of "#" or ";" in front of a line is common refered to as commenting. If you have a firewall, make sure it allows Port 80 (which is the default port Uniform Server runs on) to be accessed by other IPs. If you have a router, do a port forward on Port 80. Your firewall or router manual should have more on this. Now with a file manager (like Windows Explorer), navigate to W:\www\ and start adding your images there. You'll be able to access then via http:/// or http:////, if you created a new folder in W:\www\ and placed your images in it. If you can't access it and know that your firewall or router is not the problem, then maybe your ISP is blocking Port 80. If your server doesn't run, you should check for: Skype. In its settings, change the incoming port to something other than Port 80. Then, restart Skype and try to run Uniform Server again. LIBMYSQL.DLL in C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (or any other folder in your Path Environment Variable), delete it if found. IIS. If found, you should uninstall it as IIS (also a HTTPd like Apache in Uniform Server) uses Port 80.

Why don't you use another FTP Server?

Yes

I don't think it would be "unauthorized" if we were to enter your PC to help you solve your problem. Anyway, how are you accessing your FTP Server, via localhost (127.0.0.1), your LAN IP (if you have one) or your Internet IP address? If you're accessing it via your Internet IP, is your firewall blocking connections from your PC to the port you're running your FTP Server on?

If I remember correctly, the Visual C++ 2005 Runtime Libraries refer to MSVCP80.dll and MSVCR80.dll. I don't think they should be found on your PC unless you've previously used a program that requires them.

What do the log files say?

Look for a file called LIBMYSQL.DLL in your C:\WINDOWS\ or C:\WINDOWS\system32\ (or any other folder in your %PATH% environment variable), if you have it in there, delete it. Also, make sure you do not have Skype running, if you do, enter the settings to change the port for your incoming to something else other than port 80.
